DARE graduation was held at Sharpsville Elementary on January 15 th with the fifth-grade students receiving certificates of achievement. DARE, which stands for drug abuse resistance education is a ten week course taught at the fifth grade level with "Officer Matt" of the Sharpsville Police Department DARE not only educates students about the harmful effects of drugs on the body, but it helps students realize the presence and reality of peer pressure and personal pressure in their lives. DARE equips students with the tools necessary to make wise decisions. This is the most common theme throughout the program. As one student said in her pledge statement. “1 promise not to do drugs and I promise to always be in charge”. DARE teaches students how to be in charge of all types of situations.

DARE is primarily funded through the generous contributions of The Sharpsville American Legion as well as many other local business owners Not only did the students receive their certificates, but they also received I-shirts, wrist bands, backpacks, stickers, pencils, dog tags and recess equipment. Students also had a graduation party with pizza, cake, pop and the rest of the day off from class. Students also participated in the fund-raising by selling concessions at Light Up Night and Daftins bars throughout the year.

The borough, the police department, and the school district thank all those who worked to make a difference in the lives of these students. We look forward to another successful class next year.

Beginning November 1, 2009, the Borough of Sharpsville Water Department will begin receiving water from Aqua Pennsylvania (Aqua)
    Aqua uses chloramine as a disinfectant that is used to  improves water quality. Currently, the Borough’s water is not treated with chloramines.
    For most, the changeover to chloramines will go unnoticed, or will improve the taste of your water.
    However dialysis patients, aquatic pet owners, businesses with live fish tanks and businesses that treat water for chlorine removal might need to employ other alternatives to remove chloramines from the water.

Your Right to Know

Governor Edward G. Rendell signed the new Right-To-Know law on February 14, 2008 fundamentally changing the way people access public records of their government. The hallmark of this new law, which fully became effective January 1, 2009, is its presumption of openness. For the first time in Pennsylvania history, citizens no longer have to prove that a record is public and that it should be released. Now, a government agency must presume that a record is a public record available for inspection or copying. If the government agency chooses to withhold a record, the agency has the burden to prove – with legal citation – why that record should not be available to the public.
